Developing generative AI solutions

Defining a Use Case

Defining the use case sets the path for everything else: it names the problem, gathers requirements, and aligns stakeholders. Teams analyze the problem, consult subject matter experts, and translate business needs into technical specifications.

A business use case is a structured narrative of how a system should behave from a stakeholder's point of view. It starts with a brief description of its purpose.

Metrics for generative AI use cases

  • Cost savings: lower labor costs and more efficient processes
  • Time savings: less time per task
  • Quality improvement: accuracy, coherence, and creativity of the output
  • Customer satisfaction: satisfaction scores, net promoter score (NPS), sentiment
  • Productivity gains: output volume, error rates, task completion time

Ways generative AI addresses business problems

  • Process automation of repetitive tasks
  • Augmented decision-making with insights and recommendations
  • Personalization and customization for customers
  • Creative content generation for marketing, entertainment, and education
  • Exploratory analysis and innovation to find new ideas
